Breton Folk Song: Ev Chistr 'ta Laou

[@chrisdugas1226]

We must never stop uploading Breton songs. There's very few native Breton speakers left after decades of oppression and sharing their songs is probably the best way to have the language stay afloat.

[@steven_003]

And so may more languages in Europe! Let's hope the value of these languages finds widespread recognition soon, ere it is to late forever.

There are about 210,000 Breton speakers in Brittany, and another 16,000 in Ile-de-France.

[@lachitborphukan9838]

Sorry to let you down, but what you're hearing is Breton sung by an Irishwoman. Phonologically, modern Breton actually has a lot more in common with French. Breton and Irish are also completely unintelligible to each other.

Dear fellow viewers, fans, and subscribers, I have decided to upload this video since I know that many of you miss me. I will slowly make some of my videos public again after the "Coppacolypse" and the rumors surrounding it. In addition, I can't leave behind such a huge channel with 28,600 subscribers. That is the number after I realized that my subscriber count has fallen, and therefore I decided to revive this channel for a while, hopefully. I will try to make videos for this channel in the future, even videos that I have planned to upload in the past but never did. Also, I chose this song because I noticed that a lot of people are passing this off as an Irish song. Obviously, this is not an Irish song but a Breton song from the region of Brittany in France. Basically, the Welsh version of France since both regions are related along with Cornwall. I also noticed that a lot of Russians and Ukrainians seem to enjoy listening to this song, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some of my Slavic viewers and friends in the comments section soon.

[@fintanandrouiz8160]

This is not sang with a breton accent but with an english (i would say?) accent. The second tune we hear at the end is "Gwin ar c'hallaoued" (the wine of the French) , also known as "Tan dir ha tan" (fire iron and fire), wich is an old breton tune from the medieval time, when breton people had their independence toward the french and used to fight them and steal their wine. 😉

[@carcharoclesmegalodon6904]

@@irishakita Like I said, the Irish government is apparently doing a pretty good job at promoting its artificial Anglicised bureaucratic pseudo-dialect (because apparently the world needs more legalese, this time in broken Irish) so hard that it drives the genuine spoken Irish out. Finding any resources on the internet is really difficult, especially anything tailored for people without a background in linguistics. Even better, I've heard that some places (like pubs) people would visit to casually learn from native speakers were “helped” by the authorities... in teaching the government-sanctioned standard instead (supposedly the numbers of visitors quickly dropped, which I find quite easy to believe xD). And yes, I do mean broken. The people responsible for the official standard literally make basic grammatical mistakes in terminology they make up.

I'm so curious how these people talk in French. I've heard Brezhoneg spoken with a heavy French accent but never the other way around, here you can hear the Celtic roots so clearly, their sound production is so very similar to that of Gaeilgeoir, I'm just so curious whether you can hear that when they speak French as well or if they have a completely different pronunciation like a lot of bilingual people do. So intriguing.

[@koraec]

Look for "Anjela Duval" on youtube, there is a 40 minutes intervew dating from 1971 speaking french with a breton accent, some old people in rural area still have that accent Anjela Duval was a breton poet and an adorable old woman, its realy sad there is no english subs on the video as i think english speakers would have been really intrested to know how breton people lived before WW2 Everyone who can understand french and are intrested in breton culture should watch it :)

[@MK-ni5kb]

as a 28yo Breton, our strong Breton accent when we speak French has disappeared. It will be hard for a Parisian to understand my grand parents even if they all speak French. Some of our parents still have strong accent but almost all of my generation lost it. We still use some words that Frenches don't understand and our "a" sound looks more like a "o" compared to the rest of France (maybe not the north actually), but we speak more like parisians day by day. The republic did its job ^^'

[@hmidou386]

That's actually a traditionnal accent, of Briton. You have native speakers, speakint with relatively french like intonation, but phonetically they still use sounds and vowels not present at least in Standard french, at the same time Briton has bordere Gallo another Briton regional language, of Oc Family.

The medieval Breton legal system retained the Twelve Tables of Republican Rome, which is not so strange considering that we now have strong proof in the form of DNA, backed up by archaeology and documents, that the Breton Sovereign House are descended from ancient Romans in the male line, quite likely a gens originating in the Sabine Hills. (I can be quite specific if you would like to know more.) Also, traditional Breton social practices resemble those that Roman writers ascribed to the Sabines.
